“En algún momento nosotros, los seres humanos, nos desconectamos de
nuestra propia esencia y nos olvidamos que el amor que tanto buscamos en
el mundo allá afuera, está dentro nuestro. Esta desconexión hizo que
creyéramos ser carentes de aquello que,realmente, tenemos en abundancia.
Y con esto, pasamos a utilizar toda nuestra energía e inteligencia
enforzar el otro a reconocernos y considerarnos, es decir, aamarnos.
Pero en algún momento maduramos y percibimos que, solamente cuando
reconocemos somos reconocidos; solamentecuando consideramos somos
considerado;solamente cuando amamos, somos amados.”“At some
point in time, we humans have become disconnected from our own essence
and have forgotten that the love we seek so much from the outside world,
is actually within us. This disconnection caused us to believe we were
needy for that which, in truth, we have in abundance. Thus, we began to
spend our time using all our energy and intelligence to force the other
to recognize and consider us, or ‘love’ us. Eventually, we mature and
realize that it is only by recognizing that we are recognized; it is
only through considering that we are considered; and it is only when we
love thatwe are loved.”

A
noble person does not do good because of willpower. She does it through
a combination of, on the one hand, modesty about self, and, on the
other hand, faith in a higher purpose, a higher meaning, in powers more
potent than self-will. Such a person is not moral through gritted teeth.
She is at ease in goodness.
